onihc....thanks! I ran through so many threads looking up "Bent wheels" but surprisingly everyone who mentioned bent wheels just ended up buying new ones anyway. I'd rather keep the OEM 16's for comfort and look...mostly for the wife...search does work most of the time...if you have the patience...lol

I'm curious because he said he threw them on the rears so we wouldn't notice it as much, and it really made a differene. Before with the bad tires and the previous setup there was vibration at 60+ mph...now it feels normal, except for the road noise from the tires...
